Use of ambient conditions and sawdust in storage of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) roots in Kenya.

Abstract

This is a report on storage experiments carried out in ambient conditions and in sawdust using 31 sweetpotato clones. The study was conducted in order to identify the most rustic local varieties under natural storage conditions and to take advantage of a natural tropical environment that resembles artificial conditions in sweetpotato storage.
